    C. JoyBell C.
    “We have to allow ourselves to be loved by the people who really love us, the people who really matter. Too much of the time, we are blinded by our own pursuits of people to love us, people that don't even matter, while all that time we waste and the people who do love us have to stand on the sidewalk and watch us beg in the streets! It's time to put an end to this. It's time for us to let ourselves be loved.”

    William Shakespeare
    “The course of true love never did run smooth; But, either it was different in blood,
    O cross! too high to be enthrall’d to low.
    Or else misgraffed in respect of years,
    O spite! too old to be engag’d to young.
    Or else it stood upon the choice of friends,
    O hell! to choose love by another’s eye.”
    ― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream

    C. JoyBell C.
    “They say a good love is one that sits you down, gives you a drink of water, and pats you on top of the head. But I say a good love is one that casts you into the wind, sets you ablaze, makes you burn through the skies and ignite the night like a phoenix; the kind that cuts you loose like a wildfire and you can't stop running simply because you keep on burning everything that you touch! I say that's a good love; one that burns and flies, and you run with it!”
    ― C. JoyBell C.
